Evaluate 3.1.2 Self-Reflection on Teaching Abilities

In the past 10 years as a teacher and as a graduate student I've learned a lot about the importance of self-reflection.  Self-reflection is an important part of being a teacher.  As I've mentioned before in this blog, being a great teacher means being willing to try new things and sometimes they work wonderfully and sometimes they fail.  Reflection is as much about learning from your mistakes as it is about pointing out your successes.  We are all learners in the classroom not just the students.  I am constantly trying to grow and evolve both in my professional and personal lives and I strive to be better while also accepting my imperfections.  I've used a lot of authentic artifacts throughout this blog and also included my e-portfolio from my Ed.S. program at UGA which contains authentic reflections and artifacts as well.
